More: Hillary keeps referring to her “thirty-five years of experience” although it isn’t clear what was so remarkable about those years, even the eight years when husband Bill was in The White House. Just being in the vicinity when important decisions are being made isn’t exactly a resume headline. Actually, she’s over ten years older than Obama so perhaps simply having birthdays helps one acquire gravitas.

And then there are those pesky little votes - - first the one authorizing President Bush to use force in Iraq. It doesn’t help that Hillary admits to not having read the intelligence report regarding the possible existence of WMD in Iraq or the need for actually invading that country. But okay, people make mistakes.

Your phone's ringing, it's 3 AM. Yeah right.
